Anyone seen any good movies lately??

We saw "Knocked Up" last weekend. Although there are a couple of funny lines - and I really like Catherine Heigel (sp) - can't recommend it 'cuz we just thought it was bad.

Got rained out of riding last night, so we went to see Shrek 3. I liked it, but it was definitely not the best of the Shrek movies.

CC, check your PM

Thanks for the review of Knocked Up. I heard it was funny so that's good to know.

Spiderman 3 wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

Flightplan was a great movie but....DH is an aircraft mechanic and I work for an airline. It was so difficult to watch things that we knew couldn't be true (like airline procedure and structural things with the plane) but we enjoyed it nonetheless!!!

So let's see, I am out of date with movies but:

The Queen - I thought it was great!
Clerks 2 - Silly but funny
Casino Royale - couldn't get into it but maybe we were tired
In the Company of Men - great but disturbing
Snakes on a Plane - um....good in a silly way
Venture Bros Season 2 - always good
Pink Flamingos - classic John Waters.

oh and we rewatched Welcome to the Dollhouse which is really good too.

I just got home from seeing a movie. The movie wasn't anything great, it was RV with Robin Williams. A funny, somewhat predictable comedy. I was gratified by the subject of a $4000 bike coming up briefly in the movie. (Robin is a rider)

The best part of the movie is the atmosphere: 30 minutes outside the city, up on the Uncompahgre Plateau is the little community of Glade Park. The volunteer fire dept up there shows movies on the backside of the fire station on Friday nights in the summer. They are free. But there is a grill where you can buy a burger (or veggie burger) for $2. Popcorn is 50 cents. Families bring chairs, blankets, coolers and enjoy a night of entertainment under the Colorado sky.

Last Friday we went there and saw Over The Hedge.

We go to several of these every summer. It's just fun. We usually don't care what the movie is. Except that last summer we left partway through the latest Star Wars movie because it was so awful, it was excruciating to watch it.

Sometimes we go up early with the bikes and do a road ride before going to the movie.

Love the old movie references in Over the Hedge :

"Rosbud?"- Citizen Kane
"Stella! Stella!!"- Streetcar Named Desire

I think is a couple more.

we watched the World's Greatest Lover last night. It's an old Gene Wilder movie and it was cute and fun.
